As others have pointed out, “bullshit” is the wrong term here. More like “extremely tedious and mind numbing”

How is this job that different from being on an assembly line and all you do is tighten the screws on something that passes by?

To me it seems clear that that is not what this book is about. It's about the purpose, not the contents.
